A quick message from our owner and CEO, Melonie Labadie speaking at the Maumee Chamber of Commerce monthly networking lunch. This is definitely a popular topic right now for both merchants and consumers. Which do you prefer-- being surcharged when using a credit card or offered a discount when using cash at the checkout counter?

Proud to support great businesses-- and great dads like Stan here.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Affinity! 💙

To the pillars that shape a dad’s journey—faith, family, fitness, and finance.

It starts with faith—the quiet belief that keeps him steady through life’s ups and downs, a guiding light even when the road gets tough. Then there’s family, the reason his heart beats strongest—the laughter, the stories, the moments shared over a meal, creating memories that last a lifetime.

A commitment to fitness isn’t just about strength—it’s about showing up every day, ready to play, protect, and provide. And behind it all is finance—the tireless work and sacrifices made quietly, so his loved ones can dream bigger and feel secure.

Behind every shared meal, every grill fired up, is a father who gives more than time or effort—he gives his all. Here’s to the dads who build foundations, nurture legacies, and remind us what it truly means to care.

Thank you for being the reason so many of us gather around the table.

After hours support tonight for a long-time client who has trusted us since 2008! Can you guess where Melonie Labadie is? She’s working on a new upgrade for them and, as always, delivering that white-glove service we pride ourselves on. Hint: there’s plenty of caffeine on site and this biz is also woman-owned by a famous former F-16 fighter pilot!
